BA - one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world
A city of seduction.
The tango - danced originally by men.
The steaks - dinasaur size.
The places to visit - unforgettable.
The people - past and present.
And plenty of pics.
Jan 26 2007 - just building this site - nearly finished.
The main street - all 16 lanes!
........more to come Florida Street
No ones goes to BA without shopping on Florida Street.If you want leather goods, jewellery or just T-shirts, it's the place to go.
Then of course there are the Tango dancers and live statues + bands of Indians playing the pan pipes.
The face of the Pampas
City of colour - Camarita
......more... Evita and Maradonna - idols
Evita - I visit the grave of Eva Peron
The London Tower
The War Memorial
A naval cadet stands guard at the memorial to the men who died in the Faulklands War. Presidente Sarmiento - museum ship
Riding across the Pampas - well, not exactly!
Barbequed steaks - Argentinian style
You have never eaten a steak until you have sampled one in Argentina.And I say sampled because I have never seen a steak so big or thick - I think I was served half a beast!!

Buenos Aires - international airport and seaport
I flew to South America to join a cruise ship which was sailing form Valpariso.
Seems crazy but from Australia you have to fly first to BA by Argentinian Airlines and then over the Andes to Santiago.
That was an interesting flight.
Must admit I thought about the plane which crashed on the Andes with the football team on and about the movie, 'Alive', which was made about it.
After cruising from Chile, down the fjords to the South Shetlands and the Antarctic Peninsular (see my Antartica lens), the ship sailed north via Puerto Madryn and Montivideo to Beunos Aires.
Like most cities I have to admit the first impressions of the airport and wharf did not create a great impression - in fact BA airport is desperately in need of a face lift.
The port did have some interseting features, and nothing could be more depressing than the port at Montivedeo - but that's another story...
